Question

write and answer the hidden questions . at the city triathlon, athletes bike 110 miles, run a 23.5 mile marathon and swim. if the total distance of this triathlon is 135.7 miles how far do the athletes swim​

Answer 1

The athlete covered 2.2 miles swimming.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Bike ride done by athlete = 110 miles

Marathon run by athlete = 23.5 mile

Total distance of Triathlon = 135.7

We have to find the distance covered by the athlete in swimming.

`\text{Total distance of Triathlon} = \text{Distance covered in bike ride} + \text{Distance covered running} + \text{Distance covered in swimming}\\135.7 = 110 + 23.5 + \text{Distance covered in swimming}\\\text{Distance covered in swimming} =135.7 - (110 + 23.5) = 2.2\text{ miles}`

Thus, the athlete covered 2.2 miles swimming.
